Not Caught by Vinegar.

Why should the prohibtionists expect
the republican party to walk into their
parlor AT every opportunity the pro
hibition leaders express their hatred of
the republican party, and boast OF their
agency in defeating it in 1854. Parties are
collections Of men, after all, and men
have a keen sense of past injury and pres
ent insult. 1t is easier, says the old pro
verb, to catch flies with molasses than
with vinegar. The prohibitionists, after
though not-alcoholic-are in state OF
perpetual surprise and indignation that
the flies will not take TO it.

RAILROAD MATTERS.
The New Lawrence Bridge of the c an
adian Pacific.

The new Canadian Pacific bridge at La
chine has been completed in a remarkably
short space of time, aud for strength and
compactness it is not eXcelled even by the
Victoria Bridge. AS regards beauty of
structure it is far ahead of the tubular
bridge and from the tourists point of view
also, as it commands a magnificent view
of the river and the picturesque landscape
stretching along to the White Mountains,
which is worse than lost to him who is
whirled into the city through the dark
ness, confinement and noise of two miles
of iron tube. The st. Lawrence bridge
will be for the Canadian Pacific railway
what the Victoria bridge is for the Grand
Trunk. 1t will be the great point of con
vergence of all incoming trains for the
city from the Eastern States, Halifax and
st John. The total length between the
end abutments is 1913 feet 1t consists of
two cantilever spans of 40S feet each, 40
feet deep, and go feet wide on centres ; two
deck thanking spans of go feet each, 30
feet deep, and 20 feet wide on centres
eight deck spans of 240 feet each, 80 feet
deep, and 16 feet wide on centres three
deck plate girders Shore spans of 50 feet
each. AS regards the superstructure,
there is a weight of steel of 6,lS0,00

The Latest Move Against Ireland

The conservative party OF England has
finally decided to tackle the Irish Ma
tional league as an organization, and has
proclaimed it an enemy to peace and to
the welfare of the British kingdom. Dur
ing the past months of the Salisbury adj.
mnistration, the English government has
waged war against what it terms the az
rarian and social disorder, by general
legislation henceforth it evidently
intends to supplement this campaign by
political measures. "Proclaiming" is a
technical term in English politics, for
when any organization has been proclaim
ed, theoretically it has been condemned
and mathematical out of existence. 1t is
in politics what accommodation is in the
Roman Catholic ecclesiastical system BY
one of the sections OF the recent Irish
crimes or coercion act which has been
law since July, the government is
given the power to proclaim any
organization which it may judge hostile
to the constitution. Resting upon this
authority, the government has placed the
league within the scope of this act, and
it now only remains for the authorities to
specify the district in which it believes
that the league is in existence. When
this is done arrests will undoubtedly fol-
low, and the league leaders will be i'm
prisoned.
The league was once before proclaimed,
three years ago, and previous Irish polit-
ical organizations have been honored in a
similar manner. This in fact has taken
place so often that the act has lost its ter
ror, and now it has come to be of little
meaning except as indicating the temper
of the government. 1t is indeed announc
ed that many liberals in Parliament will
Straightway join the league to show theil
sympathy for Ireland. Everything, how
ever, points to severer measures. Parnel
has declared that the patience of his party
is well-nigh exhausted, and that his consti
tuents know how to obtain redress outside
of Parliament. There are signs that thu
unionst party is breaking up; Mr.. Cham
berlain has taken the occasion of the pro
claiming of the league to announce tina
he can no longer act in harmony with tn
conservatives, and it is highly probabl
that he will be seen once more in compan,
with Gladstone.

Evidences of Forgery-Irish Members
Set it Down as an Infamous Connection.

LONDON, April IS.
A i've line whip published today urges the
conservatives to attend the meeting of the
House of Commons tonight, so as to be on
hand to vote for the second reading of the
crimes act amendment bill. Members began
to troop into the House at an early hour to-
day in order to secure seats, the belief being
that another scene similar to that of Friday
night will occur during the evenings session
The alleged letter Of Parnell, supposed to
have been addressed to Eagan relative to the
Phpnix Park murderers. which the Times
published this morning, has caused immense
excitement among all parties.
In an interview today Clancy, Parnellite
member for Dublin county, branded the let
ter as an infamous concoction and declared
that it bore internal evidence of forgery. He
said also that suspicion was already directed
against a certain person as the forger. An
Irish member of Parliament departed for
Dublin this morning to compare the hand
writing in the letter attributed to Parnell
with that of the person suspected.
While no address is given 1t is fact that
the signature is the only part of the letter in
Parnell's writing, and is by itself, the home
rulers argue, proof that the whole thing Is a
fraud. as, according to them, while 1t would
be difficult to obtain enough specimens OF
Parnell's handw riling to enable the forger to
initiate it to the extent necessary to
successfully palm off the whole letter as his.
|, is not at all difficult to obtain his sigma
ture. Parnell, agent of the associated press,
is author zed to state, and will categorically
dery thst he wrote the letter. Parnell will
make this denial in the House of Commons.
The editor of the Times will be summoned to
the bar of the House Of Commons to explain
its authorship of the leader.
The Globe, commenting on the Parnell let

that Parnel wrote the letter is proved, we

the 81. James Gazette saws: 1.-The letter
is SO grave document that it will not do to
